DHS sued for storing protester data in Palantir system
A redacted federal court filing reveals the US Department of Homeland Security collected and stored personal data on people observing ICE operations in a Palantir-built system called Investigative Case Management. The lawsuit alleges photos, vehicle details, and other information of ICE observers and protestors were catalogued and shared between agents and other agencies for surveillance and identification. DHS calls the suit 'meritless'; Palantir has not commented. The case covers actions in Maine earlier this year.
